Description

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTES. PURSUANT TO FAR OVERHAUL 5.101(a), THIS IS A PRESOLICITATION NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT’S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD CONTRACT TO AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS (ASTM) FOR THEIR ASTM LICENSES

The US Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Multi-Family Housing (MFH), intends to award a sole source contract (base year and four one-year options) to ASTM to provide subscriptions for ASTM licenses (commercial off the shelf subscription). MFH staff at headquarters and filed locations require access to ASTM standards to support the administration of its Multifamily mortgage insurance programs. The Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) Guide establishes the standards and requirements used by approved lenders in the preparation and submission of applications for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) multifamily mortgage insurance. HUD staff rely on these standards to review and evaluate environmental, radon, asbestos, property condition, and related third-party reports submitted in support of Multifamily mortgage insurance applications. Because the applicable ASTM standards may be updated or revised over time, MFH staff require continued online access to current versions of the standards during contract performance. ASTM has developed and copyrighted the software. In accordance with FAR Overhaul 12.102(a), for acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), the Contracting Officer has documented the determination that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available to procure ASTM licenses. ASTM contains a unique combination of features, tools and resources that cannot be found in any other web accessible resource available on the commercial marketplace.

This notice of intent is NOT a request for proposals or quotations. Requests for copies of a solicitation in response to this notice will not be honored or acknowledged. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. A determination by the Contracting Officer not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether conducting a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Government. Responsible sources may identify their interest by responding to this notice via email to michelle.l.johnson@hud.gov no later than 10:00 A.M. EST, September 14, 2026. All information submitted should support the offerors’ capability to provide the services required and shall be furnished at no cost or obligation to the Government. The primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 519290, “Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services” with a small business size standard $1,000 Employees. Any information received will be treated as market research information for future (same or similar) requirements.
